Default Denso Iridium plugs...

I got 8 brand new Denso Iridium plugs for free yesterday.(I have a 1998 trans am.) I was wondering if I should regap them, or leave them how they are. Also, has anyone had expirence with these plugs? I figured sense I got them for free, I might as well throw them in and check them out.

They come pre-gapped....if you try and gap them you will probably break off the Iridium tip.

Be happy....you got $100 worth of spark plugs for nothing.

Easiest way to get that back 10mm on the coil pack is with a short ratcheting wrench. It will take awhile to get it but when you do you can leave it out. You'll have to disconnect and move over your AIR and EGR tubing. You can do it. Oh, and if you can try standing on your battery to get the angle for number 8.
